Making in-game platforms - HELP!
So in the game I'm making, I want to make platforms so the characters can jump on them. How would I go about doing that? Would the platforms be sprites or part of the stage?

The platforms can be the background or a sprite. It doesn't matter usually, because people usually use colour sensing for platforms.

They can be sprites or part of the stage, depending which one you want. Though I do not think it matters...

Platformers can be made by having all the platforms be one color, then making the following sprite on the main character:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><touching color[ color of platforms
<change y by( 5
<else>
<change y by( -5
[/blocks]
Or something along those lines.

Color sensing? Never thought of that! Thanks everyone!
